thing But do You know was just
worried to death for fear Madame Fit

time for election day
But she did, see and it's just love

election bonnet, but it came at the last
moment or | wouldn't have come near
the polls. Are you going to vote for
Mamie Berkeley for city treasurer ::
NO. Pm not; we've been out for Il
long time. and | think she is just hor-
rid
Il think 50 too; she dresses away be-
yound her means now, and there'd be
no living in the same town with her if
she was city treasurer. What do you
think of Mrs. John for mayor
'Oh, l think she'd be lovely. She
has such Il queenly manner and dresses
in such perfect taste; but most of the
girls are voting for Howard Percy for
mayor; he's so handsome, You know.

around here some place trying to get
the other girls to vote for Hugh

candidate. She's going to invite me tc
Washington if she's elected.
